BOSTON — It was hot and humid tonight outside the Boston Common AMC theater, where the Bruins’ 2011 championship DVD was premiered on the big screen.

But in a rare sight, Brad Marchand kept his shirt on.

In fact, the Bruins winger said he was wearing two shirts.

Despite the extra layer, Marchand didn’t seem to be letting the heat get to him. And unlike many Bruins fans, Marchand isn’t sweating the contract talks between his agent Wade Arnott and the club. Marchand is a restricted free agent, which means the Bruins hold the right of first refusal.

“The Cup,” said Marchand about what’s holding up contract talks.

As he explained, a lot of management types have been spending their days with the Stanley Cup, so there hasn’t been a lot of time for talk.

He’s confident a deal will get done. He wants to be in Boston. And at the premier, where he addressed the media in the lobby and then the fans from the front of the theater before the movie rolled, he seemed every bit the consummate Bruin that he was during the season.

His day with the Cup won’t be until the end of August. Until then, he’ll wait for his new day, continue to bask in the glory of the championship and try to stay full clothed — at least in public.

I think the DVD is weak. I don’t know how these things are made and who makes the decisions but, but, but. Don’t want to spoil it for those who haven’t seen it. It could have and should have been so much more 

We actually went and bought the DVD at midnight and got it signed by Marchand. However I did not ask him when he was going to resign.

DVD is pretty good-I enjoyed the parts where they had some players miked up-and almost wish they had more of that. Although I would really love a DVD set that had all the play-off games in their entirety.

He said on the DA show that the talks are getting along and he says it shouldn’t take too long. He also said he is back to training and has cut back on the parties. Lets hope both of the things he said are true.
